Blairsville, Georgia’s Jonathan Davenport fought off a furious late-race challenge from fellow Georgia speedster Brandon Overton to win night two of the 42nd Annual Winternationals at East Bay Raceway Park in Tampa, Florida.
A caution with 22 laps complete set up and eight-lap shootout between the Peach State duo. The two raced the outside line around the 1/3-mile oval using every inch of the cushion that remained. Davenport went to the outside of a lapped car as Overton went low, heading into turn one on the final lap. Overton slid almost all the way up the track, but left Davenport room as he went on to take his third career win in the Winternationals.
“I thought I had run over something during those last few laps,” said Davenport. “The car wasn’t the same, but it’s great to get that first win for Lance Landers. Thanks to my crew, Jason Durham, Kevin Rumley, and everyone that helps. They have worked their tails off, we have a few more days to go. Jason and Kevin put their heads together after last night and we were spot on today.
“They always say the first one is the hardest to get. I just hope my crew is as proud of me as I am of them. I just want say hello to everyone watching back home. My son Blaine and wife Rachel I know are tuned in to watching it online.”
Overton, who hails from Evans, Georgia, was pleased with his performance after a tough start to his Speedweeks at Golden Isles.
“It hadn’t been nearly as good of a start to Speedweeks so far, as it was last year that’s for sure,” said Overton. “We just need to race a little bit more. As I said, we have had a terrible start to the year. Hopefully with this run, we can get rolling. The slide job on the last lap got off to a good start, but at the end I was thinking I need to get out of it or I could wreck both cars.”
Brandon Sheppard finished in third, followed by Josh Richards in fourth and Tyler Erb in fifth.
Bobby Pierce, Kyle Bronson, Devin Moran, Earl Pearson, Jr., and Timothy Culp rounded out the top ten.
